37 febrile children aged between 3 months and 6 years were treated with paracetamol in a dose of 15--20 mg/kg by either oral elixir or rectal suppository. The rectal route was found to have an equal antipyretic effect and offers a practical alternative in those children for whom the oral route is not possible.20

Background And Purpose: Inflammation, fever, and pain can be associated with several diseases, and the synthetic drugs used in the treatment of these conditions often have severe side effects. As a result, there is a need for effective, economical, and safe alternative drugs, such as those derived from medicinal plants. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and antioxidant activities of leaf fractions (CcLF), as well as its acute toxicity.

Background: Fever is characterized by an upregulation of the thermoregulatory set-point after the body encounters any pathological challenge. It is accompanied by uncomfortable sickness behaviors and may be harmful in patients with other comorbidities. We have explored the impact of an Ayurvedic medicine, Fevogrit, in an endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide)-induced fever model in Wistar rats.

Department of Surgery, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California.
Background: Few studies report outcomes for enhanced recovery pathways in ambulatory anorectal surgery. We hypothesize that an ambulatory anorectal enhanced recovery pathway with multimodal analgesia can reduce postoperative opioid use.
Objective: To compare postoperative opioid use in patients undergoing ambulatory anorectal surgery who receive multimodal analgesia versus standard of care without multimodal analgesia.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality, primarily attributed to uterine atony. Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) endorse the use of misoprostol not only for the prevention but also for the treatment of PPH. However, the administration of misoprostol is commonly associated with transient pyrexia, attributed to a shift in the hypothalamic set point observed in certain animal studies.
